Really rockin' and just an all around fun vibe. Lot of energy from everyone. whole first set is killer!

Some really fun key work by Brent. Jammin' fun vibes all first set

Brokedown Palace
A really beautiful encore, Brent is close to perfect on this version, the drummers are in unison and Jerry is signing great with Brent
